Surrogate Follies

As the Democratic nomination process moves into the 3rd quarter, the voters are beginning to show signs of fatigue brought on by the endless out spoken surrogates and their tendencies to have to withdraw from either campaign after suffering from "foot-in-mouth" disease. On the Obama side, Clinton has been accused of being a "monster" while the Clinton surrogates have indicated Obama has some perceived privilege because of his black skin. Despite there being enough examples on either side to cause one to second guess voting, enough already!

The state of the American economy demands that the campaigns focus on solutions to the problems dominating the America landscape, not how many surrogates have to exit stage left. Who has the better policy response to the housing crisis? How will working families be able to send their children to college, maintain the household and invest in their future with the rising cost of transportation, health care, child care and the like?

Obama and Clinton listen up. Tell the American people why you should lead this country and where you plan to lead us. Put a fork in the surrogates and endorsers and show the American voter your blue print for a better tomorrow. Don't let the problems of America get lost in the back ground noise of the surrogates who in the end take their role too personally to even see the impact of their follies.
